From 1,2-dialkoxyalkanes to 1,4-dioxanes. A transformation mediated by NbCl(5)via multiple C-O bond cleavage at room temperature.

Chem. Commun. (Camb.) (31) , 3651-3, (2008)

The formation of 1,4-dioxanes and alkyl chlorides from the reactions of polyethers (dme, diglyme, 1,2-diethoxyethane, 1,2-dimethoxypropane) with NbCl(5) at room temperature is described; as far as dme is concerned, the reaction mainly occurs in two steps, con...
